Ammunition

Cannon ammunition is crafted by Blacksmiths. Cannons can only be loaded with one ammunition type at a time. They can be dismantled from the ship.

Placing Cannons

In order to place a cannon on a Ship you need to look for an outlined tile on the either side and bow of your ship (golden bullet for Gargish, square wood for the others). Double click your cannon deed and then target the cannon station, and if you are close enough the cannon will be placed.

WARNING: You will need few of these, so only make one to start with, as with the ramrods and swabs. Each you will only need one to reuse.

Operation

Once you have your cannons placed on your Ship, you can use them by one of two methods: By context menu or by double clicking the cannon itself.

If you use the context menu you can do things somewhat faster, where double clicking on a cannon gives you a pop-up menu, which might be better for a dedicated cannon worker. Also, if you hover over a cannon, a Tooltip will inform you on its status.

There are four main actions for each cannon on your ship: 1.Clean, 2.Charge, 3.Load, and 4.Prime. Each action must be completed in order.

1.CLEAN

Required after use. Clean the Cannon with a Swab.
Use via Cannon Menu:

2.CHARGE

Use a Powder charge type that matches the cannon you want, Light Powder Charge or Heavy Powder Charge. Once you load the corresponding Powder Charge, you can go on to the easy part, loading the cannon.
